About Tanya
Tanya Edwards is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting stress, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses family of origin issues and challenges tied to life transitions and caregiving roles.
Tanya uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in session. She draws on client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to low mood or anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques are used when emotional connection and attachment themes are central.
In practical terms she works collaboratively. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, examining how family roles and early patterns still affect daily life, and trying out new ways of responding. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are included when they fit a client’s goals and preferences.
Tanya also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and end-of-life or hospice related issues. She pays attention to multicultural and discrimination-related concerns in clients’ lives.
She practices in Massachusetts and conducts work in English. For international clients, she accepts arrangements consistent with licensure and professional guidelines. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Tanya’s approaches translate to online work
Tanya blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Client-centered work focuses on what matters to the client and uses open conversation to identify goals and priorities. CBT breaks down how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers concrete strategies to test and change those patterns. EFT pays attention to emotional experience and attachment themes, helping people notice and name feelings that influence relationships and self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tanya treats approach selection as collaborative. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on a client’s goals, reactions, and preferences rather than assuming a single path up front.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as scheduling shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that do not require being on camera. Prospective clients should confirm the available session formats and schedule when they complete the short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment.
